History

The mall opened in 1974 with anchor stores Sears and Kaufmann's. [3] The Kaufmann's store was the first in the chain to be located in a shopping mall. Goodman Company, a real estate company owned by Murray H. Goodman, built the mall. A 1975 expansion added 25 more stores and a third anchor department store, Ashtabula, Ohio-based Carlisle's. [4] An original tenant, Zales Jewelers, won a design competition in that chain upon opening. [1] JCPenney opened an anchor store in 1983 in the former Carlisle's location. [5]

Beginning in 2000, the mall was significantly rebuilt. Sears moved to a new anchor building on the north side, [6] while JCPenney moved into the old Sears location, and the old JCPenney (originally Carlisle's) was demolished for construction of a huge Walmart, which opened in 2002. [7] In 2006, Kaufmann's was renamed Macy's. [8] Sears closed in 2016. Macy's closed in 2017. [9]

The Kohan Retail Investment Group purchased Fort Steuben Mall for $10.75 million in December 2018. [10] They would sell it in 2022 to Brookwood Capital Partners. [11]

In early 2022, Brookwood Capital Partners acquired the shopping mall from the previous owners. [12] Despite attracting new businesses to the mall, Brookwood Capital auctioned it off after only one month. [13]

Rolling Acres Mall was a shopping mall located in the Rolling Acres area of Akron, Ohio, United States. Built in 1975, it originally included approximately 21 stores, with Sears as the main anchor store. Later expansions added several more stores including anchor stores JCPenney, Montgomery Ward, and O'Neil's, along with a movie theater and food court. Montgomery Ward was converted to Higbee's in 1986, and then to Dillard's in 1992, while O'Neil's became May Company Ohio, Kaufmann's, and then finally Macy's. The fifth anchor store was Target, added in 1995. At its peak, the mall had over 150 stores. It underwent a sharp decline in tenancy throughout the 1990s and into the first decade of the 21st century, resulting in the relocation of Target and closure of Dillard's. Macy's and the mall itself both shuttered in 2008, although Sears remained operational until 2011, and JCPenney as an outlet store until 2013. Rolling Acres Mall was publicized after its closure as an example of a dead mall, and non-retail ventures operated out of the former locations of Target, Sears, and Dillard's. The mall was finally demolished in stages between 2017 and 2019, with Amazon building a distribution facility on the former site soon after.
